The Senate on Jan. 15, 2025 read four bills and a concurrent resolution, referred the concurrent resolution to the Committee on Assessment and Taxation, withdrew the appointment of Christopher Kennedy and referred that appointment to the Committee on Natural Resources and Agriculture, then approved a motion to adjourn until 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025.

The clerk read the following measures: Senate Bill No. 8 by the Committee on Transportation "an act concerning traffic regulations"; Senate Bill No. 9 by the Committee on Transportation "an act concerning the United States public land surveys"; Senate Bill No. 10 by Senators Tyson, Alley and others "an act concerning property taxation"; and Senate Bill No. 11 by the Committee on Utilities "an act concerning emergency communication services." The clerk also read Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 1603 by Senators Tyson, Alley and others and announced, "I am referring Senate Concurrent Resolution 1603 to the Committee on Assessment and Taxation." The clerk asked senators to note the bills listed on page 12 of the calendar.

The Senate also withdrew an appointment: the clerk announced the withdrawal of Christopher Kennedy from the calendar and that the matter was referred to the Committee on Natural Resources and Agriculture. The clerk asked senators to "please see January 15th journal for reports from the State Department of Education," indicating related entries appear in the journal.

After those procedural items, Sen. Blasey, the majority leader, moved to adjourn. "I move the Senate adjourn until 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 16, 2025," Sen. Blasey said. The presiding officer called for the voice vote: "All in favor, say aye." The chamber responded "Aye," and the motion carried; no roll-call vote was recorded in the transcript.

These were procedural actions that place the introduced bills and the concurrent resolution on the Senate calendar for future consideration by the listed committees; the transcript did not record committee referrals for the four bills or any debate on their merits. The concurrent resolution has been formally sent to the Committee on Assessment and Taxation, and the withdrawn appointment of Christopher Kennedy has been sent to the Committee on Natural Resources and Agriculture for further action or consideration.

The Senate will reconvene at the time announced for further business and any committee referrals or calendar placements will determine the measures' next steps.
